The basics of Hanfu styles, including: the basic structure of Hanfu, the silhouette of Hanfu, and the composition of each part of Hanfu.
Nowadays, young people wearing Hanfu can often be seen in parks and ancient scenic spots. With loose, flowing sleeves, light and graceful skirts, delicate makeup and elegant hair ornaments, they walk among ancient buildings, as if traveling through time and forming a unique scenery of their own. Clothing ranks first among the four necessities of […]
A pink costume from Chang Sheng Gu (长生骨), also listed as Nian Xiang Si (念相思), has been passed around online with unusual energy. The surprise is not luxury. It is the easy way Yu Shuxin (虞书欣) wears a Hanfu shape that many viewers file under “stage only.” Her look borrows a Tang Dynasty round-collar robe, […]
When leaked photos of Cheng Yi in the upcoming drama Liang Jing Shi Wu Ri (两京十五日) surfaced online, fans were puzzled. The actor, playing Crown Prince Zhu Zhanji (朱瞻基), appeared in a blue robe embroidered with golden dragons — a square-collared, front-buttoned garment with sleeves ending at the forearm, revealing wide red inner sleeves beneath. […]
Leaked stills from Zhu Gu Niang (祝姑娘) have made viewers stop and look twice. Chen Lijun (陈丽君) appears in several male official outfits, and the usual markers of a woman dressed as a man are hard to find. No stiff beard, no obvious softness, no sense that the costume is merely borrowed. The effect is not […]
In one recent historical drama, a simple undershirt causes a quiet scandal. A maid notices that a military household’s daughter wears Bone-Waking Gauze a fabric said to be priceless. The camera never gives the garment a close-up, which only makes viewers ask more questions. Was this cloth real, or did a writer invent a fancy […]
When Against the Current (兰香如故) reached viewers, one detail refused to stay quiet: Liu Xueyi (刘学义), playing Lord Lin Jinqi (林锦歧), kept sweeping across the screen in a long robe whose lower half opened like a modern puffy skirt. Fans called it cute, odd, even “out of period.” The question sounded simple. Did men in […]
No robe appeared more often in a Ming dynasty man’s wardrobe than the Daopao. From the emperor down to scholars and ordinary townsmen, almost everyone wore one as everyday dress. It was neither a ceremonial garment nor a robe reserved for the literati: it took the form of a one-piece long coat with a right-lapel […]
Recent period drama Against the Current (兰香如故) has stirred amused debate. Two male actors appear in women’s clothing, with two separate looks, and viewers keep comparing them. In costume dramas, women disguised as men are familiar. Men disguised as women? Much rarer. Why does one direction feel natural on screen while the other still shocks? […]
In Against the Current (兰香如故), Tan Songyun (谭松韵) and Liu Xueyi (刘学义) lead a story where small wardrobe choices speak loudly. Viewers notice the standing collars worn by Zheng Hehuizi (郑合惠子) and other women. At the throat sits a tiny pair of interlocking clasps. Many people still assume Hanfu relied only on ties. That idea […]
Chen Lijun (陈丽君) has started a new costume drama. Her role, Zhu Guniang (祝姑娘), spends much of the plot dressed as a man, and early comments praise the choice. Fans say few actors can shift between masculine and feminine so easily; the last comparison they mention is Nü Shizi (女世子). But the real question is […]
